Note: I know many people were moved, perhaps even upset (no good idea why) with this video and/or it's description. First I want to say, this channel is NOT about anything other than fishing. Sure you all can talk about other things. I do prefer it mainly to be fishing! Not changing car parts. You ALL mean A LOT to me! Think it's about the money? Hah! It's not I can show you. It's not good. Lol. It is something. It's about sharing our experiences as Fellow Fishermen/Women with YOU ALL. You all mean a lot too me because you're fellow humans. I show such care for all life. Ok maybe I don't consider an ant. I'll damn well be careful when handling the fish! Anyways please, love you guys and gals. Let's keep it to fish, and we don't mind hearing your stories! May the Forc... errr Bite be with you! Ken & Lea
I bought my house here since 2003! This slough always had salmon get stuck at the dam! The salmons usually comes in after the first big rain, between Oct-December ! It’s been like that since they build that dam! Instead of conserving the salmon they kill them instead ! Just like the sturgeon, people that doesn’t even go fishing closed down the season! After we have bought our tags! Now some boats catches more than 18 sturgeons a day!
Though it's not the best news, and not for you with your home nearby. Still nice to hear how long it's been going on. We first heard about it a few years ago. While visiting a friend in the area we went for a walk hearing many people claiming to see some BIG fish in the area. I found it hard to believe and at first, figured if true was thinking Stripers. Find out that many were Salmon. Speaking to others more recently they claimed they walked it for years, one said over a decade. Said though they seen them before not like 2022-2024. Being from the area then your word is most likely solid also, thanks again. As for Sturgeon, yeah would be nice if they open it for 2025. This year was finally going to fish them but the Ban came in sighs. Hope you enjoy the Fishing Videos... Ken & Lea
To be honest I didn't know for certain. What I was guessing was they would be less likely to eat and eat less. Still taking opportunity. If they do indeed eat absolutely nothing (would find that hard to believe) they when does that start? Roughly. Just always done to accumulate accurate knowledge. That being said hope you enjoyed the video Greg!
Man that's SWEET information boss, thanks! I did figure most of those and perhaps more is in there. Never know though. We had caught some Bluegill before there, as you seen the Golden Shiner. Carp that would be sweet! Think they're there in numbers? About 1-2 years back I was filming here because word had it was some BIG fish in there. We found it hard to believe so we casted out. To my surprise ended up in a MASSIVE battle under that bridge. Can't recall the name of the video, think it's in the Urban Playlist. If interested I can look up which video it was. Thanks again boss! Ken
When Salmon enter fresh water to spawn there is a physiological change the accures ( 1-3 days )that makes them vomite anything they eat. They will strike out of aggression because defending the nest bed instinct.
So sorry for our delayed response! I like the comments made of thought and knowledge. Surely tough learning when info conflicts. Often times I revert back to my father's teachings. He was one of FEW people I know that Hunted/Fishing nearly every day of his life. That's all we ate, EVERY NIGHT. No hot dogs, no hamburgers. Barely went to the stores. To your point friend.... As for adaptions their body/state of mind take on during this time I'd guess (from research a few of us have done on the subject) that it doesn't take affect at precisely the same time for each individual. In addition, not every Salmon would go with the Status Quo. Being exactually the same time/location/temps. Not saying I think some Salmon choose not to spawn or won't during this process. Just there should be variations. So research we did suggested, actually stated. That indeed SOME Salmon MAY eat infrequently in the form of smaller meals. In addition to the Reaction Strike that may fish breed's exhibit. Basically negating the Absolute, "No Salmon will Ever eat Anything during the Spawning." I am open to being wrong even in this view of their extremely limited eating. Certainly was a sight to behold though! Only 2nd time I've had such an encounter with Salmon. First time most were alive! P.S. we hope the videos are to an enjoyable level! Thanks for the comment and hanging with us! Ken & Lea
@@HangNFish Oh it's fine to comment on the older videos. Some people actually do. We respond to them also. If it's about some mistakes, sure I make them. So does everyone. Still learning. Some topics I know quite a bit about. Computer programming, mathematics, anatomy, astrology and so on. Fishing got back into about 5 years ago. It's much different than hunting was. How's fishing been for you? Been thinking Striper again soon.
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 its been slow for me for striper i just started to bank fish the dwc. Ill be stuck at home for 4 months since babysitting duties again.
I don't know the area that well, I know some people that live around the area. It's not far from there. Don't know the actual name of the street it's on. Maybe Whistler Way. I'm guessing here... still many canals like it throughout the city. Problem most have the Salmon trapped. Outside of that hope you enjoy the fishing videos!
In a way glad you got to see it in person. Sure, hope they clean them out soon. Though they are a food source now for wildlife. Omg one guy came up while I was fishing (GoPro wasn't running) and said the ones alive looked fresh and ok to eat. I didn't even bother the mention the water is NASTY. So I did remind him that Salmon is closed anyways. It's illegal this year. Omg that was DIRTY water! Thanks for watching hope you enjoy the videos!
Fished at Lodi lake yesterday, had one of these zombie salmon bite purely out of reaction on a jerk bait. He fought for a good few seconds and then just went limp on me and died. Once I dragged him in we weighed him at 7.13lbs 22.5”. Nastiest thing I’ve ever pulled outta the water😂
Hey Dakota how goes it man? Must of been sweet to feel that bite in open water. But... ouch that hurts, we knew it was coming. Thier die off. The few that surfaced up on the recent videos there still looked fairly healthy. Few weeks back. That battle weird must of been the last it had left. Kind of dramatic.
@ the one I managed the pull out was pretty far gone, chunks of his flesh were falling off him and onto the ground, he smelled something terrible. But yeah pulled he extremely hard for just a few seconds and I think gave himself a heart attack putting forth all his effort and went limp. It was definitely cool to catch one in that zombie like state. They look crazy! We saw a bunch of others in Lodi that didn’t seem to be in as bad of shape, dead or alive, saw some that still had their colors, that bright red stands out.
@@DakotaMoon-p5n Surely in a way nasty and sucks. Surely not what you wanted to catch. Still just another interesting fishing tale! Crazy it happens fairly quickly it seems. Think a FEW in my last trips there were confirmed Salmon surfacing. They seemed healthy. Hard to say for sure and was a few weeks prior to your seeing that one! Love seeing those BOLD colors, I hear you! Funny Rainbow Trout in time can get boring to pull up. Oh it's just another Rainbow. At times you get those Super Rich color ones. Like pulling up a piece of "Bling". Btw what did it bite on?? Was guessing you were targeting Bass?
@ it bit on a 3” jerkbait, I was targeting bass and getting a few missed/short strikes and then I felt a pull that was far stronger than any bass I’ve hooked and it probably pulled about 30ft of line and then just went dead weight. Had him hooked on all 3 barbs on the back treble. Didn’t have much luck else at Lodi so I finished the day at Mickies grove and caught a new species and #24 on my list, the Black crappie so that was nice
@@DakotaMoon-p5n Yeah go figure that it would even notice a 3" lure. Few years back by error one bit our Rooster Tail maybe 1 1/2". Shockingly also landed that one, bad water and not in season so back it went. Question is Mickies Barbless only? I do know it's catch n release. Least think so. So can we use Barbed there or not? If you know.. thx btw SWEET on the Crappie!
Are you remotely serious?? First in the video I CLEARLY STATE I'm not targeting Salmon. Not to mention I casting out Red Worms man. Seriously. In addition you do realize that's an UL pole, and 4 pound test. Think man think....
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it! Lots of time to edit the video... sighs. I had to know what smaller fish were in there. Also, what's still living in there with all that decay.
Well I only found out about it like 3 years ago. Only that time, we kept bumping into people that day claiming they saw HUGE fish. No one could clearly say what they were. Just seemed a bit hard to take in, such a tiny water way barely filled most times so I hear. Later we did find out was indeed Salmon. This trip initially I had different plans for the video. Was just to see what in an Urban Setting would bite on common worms. Then I seen the Salmon, shortly after News Crew shows up. So on the spot I changed the plans for the video. Made things a bit tougher. Still some said they walked it for a decade or so. Said seeing this many over the last few years was uncommon. They walk it and I don't really so taking their word. Still sucks to see them get trapped and die in that manner.
Very common knowledge that in this stage of the life cycle they reserve energy to spawn, instead of chasing food. But recent research shows some salmon in Alaska scavenging roe, even after entering river systems.#DT24
Honestly of course I'm learning just like everyone. On everything. Once we know a subject we can always dig deeper on it. While I had in mind they eat little and their main drive is the spawn and that they die doing so or trying. Many say they simply won't eat. Though not 100% agreed with that. Most did I guess or being loose with their wording. So me and 3 others I know been doing some research. Now 4 sources have mentioned while they don't commonly eat, at times some will take a small meal. Heck surely we've all wanted/thought it'd be nice to Always have an Underwater Cam going. Outside of that we hope you enjoy the videos! Worry not, I like yourself am always learning. I'm game!
Those salmon been going the wrong way for years, I remember 15 years ago salmon were there stranded. Its nothing new by any means, salmon season is closed so u can't fish for them anyways
I'm sure they have. Alas we have the ability to lessen or prevent that. I know all boils down to time, money and desire to do. But... hate seeing that. What a miserable way to meet ones end. Not to mention they could be helping the population. Thanks for comment again Greg. We've gave you a "Shout out" in a semi recent video. P.S. I must have told at least 4 people that day. "No you can't Salmon in ban for 2024". Some even asked "I can't even take the dead ones?". Ooooo that's sooo disgusting.
They come and find different routes because of dams they lay there eggs before they die and a good amount make it to the ocean still despite the dams no matter where they end up even settings like this they still make it back to the ocean last years count on salmon from fish and game was an new record for some years the population is coming
Yeah I know it's nothing we can cure 100%. Protecting EVERY Salmon. Alas surely more can be done. Sad to see such a waste of life, and life to be. So you also heard the Salmon populations are up now? That's what I've been hearing. Got a BAD feeling it'll be closed 2025. Thanks for swinging by, we hope you enjoy the videos! Ken & Lea
Those salmon were going to die anyway because they come up the rivers to spawn and then they die so nothing was going to save them. Also when spawning usually they quit eating. That buddy of yours - 😁😁😁 is why I like to fish away from people. How did your Meet and Greet go ?? Thanks for the video
Hey David! Honestly normally I feel it's bore people if I mentioned everything I knew and didn't know about certain aspects of fishing. So I don't viewers time. In the case of Salmon, I know many of the baits they bite on (was the first fishing I ever did), also know about their "runs" some say it's a fairy tale. Also know that many will make the Trip out to the Ocean and return to the Fresh Water to spawn and it will end their life cycle. Having laid or not. Also know their drive is so strong they'll cross water so shallow one would think it a myth. About their eating, was to my knowledge that they in a manner of speaking "shun" food at the time. I also know it's a long travel. Figured while on target for their destiny they'd at times take easy meals of chance. No while MANY said NO. No is a STRONG word. An absolute. I think absolutes are rare. So after some research that 4 of us did we came up with a few write ups. In each case they, worded differently claim that in many cases Salmon will not eat, they indeed have been known to take down meals. Mainly smaller meals. In addition some others actually mentioned they also think that some feed sparingly. While surely I don't know everything my good friends, I'm not without knowledge :) Yeah the first guy meant well. I think. Also think he was drunk off his butt, which is totally cool. He's not driving. Didn't know if he'd make it off the Dam. But he wouldn't let thinks go. Another encounter about 1 hour later I nearly got in yet another fist fight. Well felt pretty close, I'm thinking to myself. "ok here we go again". I'm generally a friendly person often in a good mood. Like many, I have my limits and the second guy was testing them. Look like he just got out of the Pen. While the first guy seemed like a well dressed and mannered guy. Except not letting things rest.
Oh the last two parts, the Greet not so good. Due to the weather messing the first one up, and letting them know about the new date was soo last moment. Then we found there weren't BBQ pits in the section I requested we meet. Few were there, we did do a HUGE BBQ (had enough to feed maybe 30-40 people.). Thanks for staying with us David hope it's been worth your time.
First, please this is a Fish Channel. No debates. Only say one short thing as you did. Let's let it go over, we both share Fishing right? When Trump said on camera, one even which I actually know few people that attended it was unforgivable. One being talk of shooting anyone and people still loving him. Sooo many more examples. We all have our flaws right? Again, let this be about a common hobby! We down?
Juan thank you for the note! I've heard that a lot. I felt that they'd eat just no where near as often. So I did research on it. My research from 2 different sites (going to check more) say that Salmon MAY POSSIBLY eat while in the Fresh Water River system. Unlikely, but some do. By people saying they Will Not, that is an absolute. Which are rare. I'm willing to go either way at this point. If we all had underwater cam to see right? Thanks Juan... we're thankful you enjoy the channel. Lot of time/work into Filming and Editing. Fish on brother....
For a second (maybe still lol) you lost me. I'm like convo? Uhhh yeah I'll skip that part. Ahhh acronym for Conversation? If so... bit late but now I follow you. Thx again, we hope we can keep the videos a form of Fishing Entertainment. We also have a "polls" section where you can put you Fishing Topic Polls. It's an honor Juan.... Ken & Lea
Yeah been hearing that a lot. I did think it was minimal. Thought with the comments perhaps I was wrong. So been looking into it, so far I've found two places where the topic is covered. In both cases they mention "unlikely" to eat. Though some still do fed a little in Fresh Water while waiting to spawn or making way to. So I'm figuring in general they won't. Absolute is a strong thing. This maybe absolute. As I always say, if we could only see through the water! I'm always open to being wrong. When I am.
“I’m here because we got word of the salmon getting trapped here once again… and we’re also here to fish the area.” That’s misleading… I’m remotely serious.
I'd suggest you stop while you're behind. Not only by the people who know me. By the witnesses that were there for hours on end. Also by the simple FACTS I pointed out. More power to you to catch a Salmon on a Red Worm. Even the thought is funny! You really didn't watch it did you? Nor did you pay attention to the evidence. Keep on though I find you reasoning or lack of amusing. As for misleading, I'd feel only to the simple minded.
It was Mario... I just didn't want to interrupt your walk with your lady. Did you see loads of more dead Salmon when you walked northwards from where I was? What days/times you normally have open? We can always meet up for a beer or coffee and set a trip up.
This guy is funny as hell. You think joe or Harris is better just saying I'm flat broke. I'm family moved from Mexico 50 years ago and I moved for a reason not for America to be like that. Just saying. I live in New Mexico.
As I mentioned in the "pinned comment" Please everyone keep this to Fishing. This is a fishing channel. With the gent in the video I tried to leave a conversation on the topic. They wouldn't let it go. Worry not about my views, I view things in great detail. There is sooo much more to things than Biden & Harris. Again, fishing.... a subject I assume we all share here?
The salmon don't feed once they leave tge ocean biological fact you can easily lookup. Unfortunately when that water is running they think it isxa way upstream and jump that dam. Once they get over the can't jump over going downstream. Since this has been happening over year to bad F&W doesn't do a little project and put up a fish screen to keep them from jumping over that wier. Wouldn't take much but they don't seem to care- way lost from their original mission of F & G.
Yes and in my research (which is still ongoing time permitting) suggests that they're Unlikely to Eat. Not an Absoult. Seems there are records of some at times eating smaller meals. I recon in either case not the end of the world. We all seem to agree food is not high on the list for them at this stage. I'm sure that's a tough battle. City requirements, Country, Depart F&G, Water Company, Land Rights, Money, Activists. Got to feel sorry for the Life that counts on us to help.
I'll hold the door open for them. Besides honestly Stanlee (if I may), people are taking things too personal. Was hoping for a lot of maturity. I asked the guy to STOP talking about it. He wouldn't let it go. I'm not one to sit idle. Nor to take insult that wasn't warranted. I'm also one to step up to defend the innocent if I'm able at the time. Notice I was still able to show the guy some respect and consideration even after I told him I don't care to talk about it.
Politics are sad, rather not cover them on this channel. Alas the slow witted guy pressed the issue on me, even though I told him I wasn't interested. Thought he wanted to chat about fishing. As for Liberal... I'm more into Right and Wrong. Save the politics, save the drama. Save the BS.
Thank you, my man! Rather keep this about Fishing! Something we all agree on. I was about to tell that guy to get out of my face with political stuff, I'm trying to fish.
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 $ years of Trump, then 8 years of Vance and Ivanka, and then 8 years with Ivanka as the first female President, PERFECT.🤣🤣
@@powderguy8435 Again let's leave politics out of this please. If that was to happen, I'd move back to my home country of Sicily. We all have our paths. I'd like this channel to remain a path we're all interested in. Fishing. Heck I'd LOVE to chat, Hunting, Snow Skiing, Racing Cars or my other hobbies. So I'm starting more channels, in order to keep this fishing. Btw. How's fishing been for you lately? What have you been fishing?
No political stuff here please. I TRIED to get that guy on film to stop talking about it. Let's just keep this to fishing. Btw.... you don't know what I know. So that would be an assumption. Fact. Again, let's keep this to fishing, something we agree on, yes? Or we can hook up and go over this topic in person. I'm good either way. That guy in person, made enough tension by not letting it go. We cool? Ken
@@m.j.greathouse456 If it's fishing then I'm down! We won't all agree on everything, least we all seem to be into fishing! Heck I'm TRYING not to even talk Auto Racing, Martial Arts, Hunting or Programming on here. Passions I have, not to mention Gold Panning and so many others. That guy simply wouldn't let things go. He had created the tension. Lucky news cast showed up. I didn't post video of the biker I got into an argument with. Which was over him trying to say those fish still alive were fine to eat. He kept saying he wanted to take some, I kept telling him they're banned! Not to mention that's NASTY water. He also kept pressing the issue. We need more humane and civil actions from people. We're all stuck on the same rock! Good thing it's mostly water!
@ I have an idea for the salmon that end up stuck in the back in the sloughs. I watched the news on this one too. Your famous kid. If you pay attention to what’s really going on they have taken away from our table and freezer. Soon you will be able to fish for sturgeon. It will cost us if you wanna take one home. Just like deer hunting or elk hunting….A tag for an elk is 600$.. I was told I didn’t look it up.. Salmon are fished out by the commercial fisherman using their nets. It would be nice if they stopped commercial fishing for salmon out at sea…and let the inshore fishermen take care of the overpopulation for a few years.
I have worked for Trump. You're wrong. Best person I've ever worked for. He would bring us breakfast and sit down and eat with us like he was one of us. I was just a little guy and he always asked about my wife and kids by name. This caricature that the media has created by lying about DJT is really horrible.
Note: I know many people were moved, perhaps even upset (no good idea why) with this video and/or it's description. First I want to say, this channel is NOT about anything other than fishing. Sure you all can talk about other things. I do prefer it mainly to be fishing! Not changing car parts. You ALL mean A LOT to me! Think it's about the money? Hah! It's not I can show you. It's not good. Lol. It is something. It's about sharing our experiences as Fellow Fishermen/Women with YOU ALL. You all mean a lot too me because you're fellow humans. I show such care for all life. Ok maybe I don't consider an ant. I'll damn well be careful when handling the fish!
Anyways please, love you guys and gals. Let's keep it to fish, and we don't mind hearing your stories! May the Forc... errr Bite be with you!

One thing too before they took that wrong turn man there were some HOGS in there! Wonder what the state record is.....
Just went there today to check it out and seen a big net luckily fish and game pulled up and im pretty sure grabbed the net hopefully
In a way glad you got to see it in person. Sure, hope they clean them out soon. Though they are a food source now for wildlife.

Well I only found out about it like 3 years ago. Only that time, we kept bumping into people that day claiming they saw HUGE fish. No one could clearly say what they were. Just seemed a bit hard to take in, such a tiny water way barely filled most times so I hear. Later we did find out was indeed Salmon. This trip initially I had different plans for the video. Was just to see what in an Urban Setting would bite on common worms. Then I seen the Salmon, shortly after News Crew shows up. So on the spot I changed the plans for the video. Made things a bit tougher. Still some said they walked it for a decade or so. Said seeing this many over the last few years was uncommon. They walk it and I don't really so taking their word. Still sucks to see them get trapped and die in that manner.
Very common knowledge that in this stage of the life cycle they reserve energy to spawn, instead of chasing food. But recent research shows some salmon in Alaska scavenging roe, even after entering river systems.#DT24
Honestly of course I'm learning just like everyone. On everything. Once we know a subject we can always dig deeper on it. While I had in mind they eat little and their main drive is the spawn and that they die doing so or trying. Many say they simply won't eat. Though not 100% agreed with that. Most did I guess or being loose with their wording. So me and 3 others I know been doing some research. Now 4 sources have mentioned while they don't commonly eat, at times some will take a small meal. Heck surely we've all wanted/thought it'd be nice to Always have an Underwater Cam going. Outside of that we hope you enjoy the videos! Worry not, I like yourself am always learning. I'm game!
Those salmon been going the wrong way for years, I remember 15 years ago salmon were there stranded. Its nothing new by any means, salmon season is closed so u can't fish for them anyways
I'm sure they have. Alas we have the ability to lessen or prevent that. I know all boils down to time, money and desire to do. But... hate seeing that. What a miserable way to meet ones end. Not to mention they could be helping the population. Thanks for comment again Greg. We've gave you a "Shout out" in a semi recent video. P.S. I must have told at least 4 people that day. "No you can't Salmon in ban for 2024". Some even asked "I can't even take the dead ones?". Ooooo that's sooo disgusting.
They come and find different routes because of dams they lay there eggs before they die and a good amount make it to the ocean still despite the dams no matter where they end up even settings like this they still make it back to the ocean last years count on salmon from fish and game was an new record for some years the population is coming
Yeah I know it's nothing we can cure 100%. Protecting EVERY Salmon. Alas surely more can be done. Sad to see such a waste of life, and life to be. So you also heard the Salmon populations are up now? That's what I've been hearing. Got a BAD feeling it'll be closed 2025.
Thanks for swinging by, we hope you enjoy the videos!

Those salmon were going to die anyway because they come up the rivers to spawn and then they die so nothing was going to save them. Also when spawning usually they quit eating. That buddy of yours - 😁😁😁 is why I like to fish away from people. How did your Meet and Greet go ?? Thanks for the video
Hey David! Honestly normally I feel it's bore people if I mentioned everything I knew and didn't know about certain aspects of fishing. So I don't viewers time. In the case of Salmon, I know many of the baits they bite on (was the first fishing I ever did), also know about their "runs" some say it's a fairy tale. Also know that many will make the Trip out to the Ocean and return to the Fresh Water to spawn and it will end their life cycle. Having laid or not. Also know their drive is so strong they'll cross water so shallow one would think it a myth. About their eating, was to my knowledge that they in a manner of speaking "shun" food at the time. I also know it's a long travel. Figured while on target for their destiny they'd at times take easy meals of chance. No while MANY said NO. No is a STRONG word. An absolute. I think absolutes are rare. So after some research that 4 of us did we came up with a few write ups. In each case they, worded differently claim that in many cases Salmon will not eat, they indeed have been known to take down meals. Mainly smaller meals. In addition some others actually mentioned they also think that some feed sparingly. While surely I don't know everything my good friends, I'm not without knowledge :)
Yeah the first guy meant well. I think. Also think he was drunk off his butt, which is totally cool. He's not driving. Didn't know if he'd make it off the Dam. But he wouldn't let thinks go. Another encounter about 1 hour later I nearly got in yet another fist fight. Well felt pretty close, I'm thinking to myself. "ok here we go again". I'm generally a friendly person often in a good mood. Like many, I have my limits and the second guy was testing them. Look like he just got out of the Pen. While the first guy seemed like a well dressed and mannered guy. Except not letting things rest.
Oh the last two parts, the Greet not so good. Due to the weather messing the first one up, and letting them know about the new date was soo last moment. Then we found there weren't BBQ pits in the section I requested we meet. Few were there, we did do a HUGE BBQ (had enough to feed maybe 30-40 people.). Thanks for staying with us David hope it's been worth your time.
You hate Trump today because in 4 years you predict he will not leave the presidency ?
First, please this is a Fish Channel. No debates. Only say one short thing as you did. Let's let it go over, we both share Fishing right? When Trump said on camera, one even which I actually know few people that attended it was unforgivable. One being talk of shooting anyone and people still loving him. Sooo many more examples. We all have our flaws right? Again, let this be about a common hobby! We down?
Salmon don’t feed once they’re in the system, either way big fan of this channel just for that convo
Juan thank you for the note! I've heard that a lot. I felt that they'd eat just no where near as often. So I did research on it. My research from 2 different sites (going to check more) say that Salmon MAY POSSIBLY eat while in the Fresh Water River system. Unlikely, but some do. By people saying they Will Not, that is an absolute. Which are rare. I'm willing to go either way at this point. If we all had underwater cam to see right? Thanks Juan... we're thankful you enjoy the channel. Lot of time/work into Filming and Editing. Fish on brother....
For a second (maybe still lol) you lost me. I'm like convo? Uhhh yeah I'll skip that part. Ahhh acronym for Conversation? If so... bit late but now I follow you. Thx again, we hope we can keep the videos a form of Fishing Entertainment. We also have a "polls" section where you can put you Fishing Topic Polls. It's an honor Juan....

They do not eat when spawning especially post spawn when waiting to die
Yeah been hearing that a lot. I did think it was minimal. Thought with the comments perhaps I was wrong. So been looking into it, so far I've found two places where the topic is covered. In both cases they mention "unlikely" to eat. Though some still do fed a little in Fresh Water while waiting to spawn or making way to. So I'm figuring in general they won't. Absolute is a strong thing. This maybe absolute. As I always say, if we could only see through the water! I'm always open to being wrong. When I am.
“I’m here because we got word of the salmon getting trapped here once again… and we’re also here to fish the area.” That’s misleading… I’m remotely serious.
I'd suggest you stop while you're behind. Not only by the people who know me. By the witnesses that were there for hours on end. Also by the simple FACTS I pointed out. More power to you to catch a Salmon on a Red Worm. Even the thought is funny! You really didn't watch it did you? Nor did you pay attention to the evidence. Keep on though I find you reasoning or lack of amusing. As for misleading, I'd feel only to the simple minded.
Nice videos nice meeting you here on this day. We should hook up and go catch some stripers.
It was Mario... I just didn't want to interrupt your walk with your lady. Did you see loads of more dead Salmon when you walked northwards from where I was? What days/times you normally have open? We can always meet up for a beer or coffee and set a trip up.
This guy is funny as hell. You think joe or Harris is better just saying I'm flat broke. I'm family moved from Mexico 50 years ago and I moved for a reason not for America to be like that. Just saying. I live in New Mexico.
As I mentioned in the "pinned comment" Please everyone keep this to Fishing. This is a fishing channel. With the gent in the video I tried to leave a conversation on the topic. They wouldn't let it go. Worry not about my views, I view things in great detail. There is sooo much more to things than Biden & Harris. Again, fishing.... a subject I assume we all share here?
The salmon don't feed once they leave tge ocean biological fact you can easily lookup. Unfortunately when that water is running they think it isxa way upstream and jump that dam. Once they get over the can't jump over going downstream. Since this has been happening over year to bad F&W doesn't do a little project and put up a fish screen to keep them from jumping over that wier. Wouldn't take much but they don't seem to care- way lost from their original mission of F & G.
Yes and in my research (which is still ongoing time permitting) suggests that they're Unlikely to Eat. Not an Absoult. Seems there are records of some at times eating smaller meals. I recon in either case not the end of the world. We all seem to agree food is not high on the list for them at this stage. I'm sure that's a tough battle. City requirements, Country, Depart F&G, Water Company, Land Rights, Money, Activists. Got to feel sorry for the Life that counts on us to help.
Dude you’re going to Lose a lot of followers with your political bs .
I'll hold the door open for them. Besides honestly Stanlee (if I may), people are taking things too personal. Was hoping for a lot of maturity. I asked the guy to STOP talking about it. He wouldn't let it go. I'm not one to sit idle. Nor to take insult that wasn't warranted. I'm also one to step up to defend the innocent if I'm able at the time. Notice I was still able to show the guy some respect and consideration even after I told him I don't care to talk about it.
Good bye
Late
Stop drinking that Liberal Kool-Aid.
Quite down political princess
Politics are sad, rather not cover them on this channel. Alas the slow witted guy pressed the issue on me, even though I told him I wasn't interested. Thought he wanted to chat about fishing. As for Liberal... I'm more into Right and Wrong. Save the politics, save the drama. Save the BS.
Thank you, my man! Rather keep this about Fishing! Something we all agree on. I was about to tell that guy to get out of my face with political stuff, I'm trying to fish.
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 $ years of Trump, then 8 years of Vance and Ivanka, and then 8 years with Ivanka as the first female President, PERFECT.🤣🤣
@@powderguy8435 Again let's leave politics out of this please. If that was to happen, I'd move back to my home country of Sicily. We all have our paths. I'd like this channel to remain a path we're all interested in. Fishing. Heck I'd LOVE to chat, Hunting, Snow Skiing, Racing Cars or my other hobbies. So I'm starting more channels, in order to keep this fishing. Btw. How's fishing been for you lately? What have you been fishing?
This guy is an absolute 🤡
I'd take you out
Not to mention the lack of maturity you're showing.
You’re wrong about the democrats.
No political stuff here please. I TRIED to get that guy on film to stop talking about it. Let's just keep this to fishing. Btw.... you don't know what I know. So that would be an assumption. Fact. Again, let's keep this to fishing, something we agree on, yes? Or we can hook up and go over this topic in person. I'm good either way. That guy in person, made enough tension by not letting it go. We cool?
Ken
@ we cool I have a net..
@@m.j.greathouse456 If it's fishing then I'm down! We won't all agree on everything, least we all seem to be into fishing! Heck I'm TRYING not to even talk Auto Racing, Martial Arts, Hunting or Programming on here. Passions I have, not to mention Gold Panning and so many others. That guy simply wouldn't let things go. He had created the tension. Lucky news cast showed up. I didn't post video of the biker I got into an argument with. Which was over him trying to say those fish still alive were fine to eat. He kept saying he wanted to take some, I kept telling him they're banned! Not to mention that's NASTY water. He also kept pressing the issue. We need more humane and civil actions from people. We're all stuck on the same rock! Good thing it's mostly water!
@ I have an idea for the salmon that end up stuck in the back in the sloughs.
I watched the news on this one too.
Your famous kid.
If you pay attention to what’s really going on they have taken away from our table and freezer.
Soon you will be able to fish for sturgeon.
It will cost us if you wanna take one home.
Just like deer hunting or elk hunting….A tag for an elk is 600$.. I was told I didn’t look it up..
Salmon are fished out by the commercial fisherman using their nets.
It would be nice if they stopped commercial fishing for salmon out at sea…and let the inshore fishermen take care of the overpopulation for a few years.
I have worked for Trump. You're wrong. Best person I've ever worked for. He would bring us breakfast and sit down and eat with us like he was one of us. I was just a little guy and he always asked about my wife and kids by name. This caricature that the media has created by lying about DJT is really horrible.
